Jetpack Simulator

Jetpack exhibit simulates the Manned-Maneuvering Unit developed and used by NASA. The simulation involves an astronaut’s experiences out of the spaceship getting around using the Jetpack. Visitors sit in the jet pack chair, which is placed over a 6-dof motion platform, and fasten a safety harness. They control the platform with joysticks placed on the armrests of the chair. They will attempt to position the module so that the virtual laser pointer aligns with the targets on the projected screen and weld the damaged pieces within a limited time duration. The visitor can experience 2 different difficulty levels which are basically differed by the ease of unit control and the amount of trouble they experience during the ride.
